Rivers
Life is a river.
It has rapids when
You have to do your homework,
Or take out the trash,
Or go to the dentist.
Rivers are smooth and calm.
You can play a game,
Or go to the arcade,
Or Six Flags,
Or Lake Tahoe,
Or Disney Land,
Or Hawaii,
Or Florida,
And just have fun in the river of life.

well... i think what she means is that
rapids are rough, the things that no one likes
and even though ive never gone river rafting
I do know that rapids are bad and no one likes them
if you do like them.........um....
I guess i'd find that strange
since you're comparing this to life.......

rapids are scary and unpleasant when u cant control the boat

Well, I have gone river rafting several times. The rapids are the best part. When the water is calm you have to do the hard work of rowing the raft if you want to get anywhere. Mr Chester
oh okay then
so the good parts are the rapids
and the bad stuff is represented by
the calm areas
-Kayla
One time I went river rafting, and the boat got stuck against a tree trunk. I was paddling up front, so I tried to push the raft out by pushing the raft away from the trunk. I ended up losing the paddle. The whole party had to get out and start swimming....

-Dana J. 100 Most Influential People in History (Christopher Columbus) He lived from 1451 to May 20, 1506. Christopher Columbus is influential in three ways. One important reason was that he was head of the Spanish Empire. That empire was the largest empire the New World had ever seen. Another important reason is that he proved that the world was round. Ferdinand Magellan further provedthat theory by sailing around the world (many things are named after him, drawf planets, penguins, GPS, [[#|travel supplies]], stores that sell travel supplies, etc.) .The most important reason is that he discovered America. He was out one day exploring, wanting to go to Asia, and he found the New World in 1492 ( he thought it was India).He is the whole reason why we have a continent to live on, the world is not too small for everybody to live here. He is so famous that several things are named after him such as the District of Columbia, Columbus Day that is celebrated on the second Monday in October, and places or people (provinces, countries, rivers, universities, cities, etc.). These three reasons are why I think Christopher Columbus is the most influential person in history.

Good job with Colombus. 4. Your poem is a 3. Mr. Chester Book Club Book: Kidnapped I'm sorry some of the lines at the bottom are not in the bubble but I can't fix it. Comments: Nature Poem
Air tingling with life, shadows lean from the mountain
Greenery fills the banks, water overflowing
A temple rises in the distance, so majestic and pure
Mountains are snow capped, reaching for the sky and space beyond.
Comments: I like it. You really describe the scene nicely. Mr. Chester
News Article: China Poultry Plant Fire Kills 119
After the fire, people were looking for loved ones, but the chickens were just wandering around.
The Jilin Baoyuanfen Poultry Plant lies just 500 miles northeast of China's capital, Beijing. The plant had started 4 years ago and was one of the major poultry suppliers of China. On June 3rd, just past 6am, explosions were heard and the fire alarm went off inside the plant. When the 300 workers heard the fire alarm the explosion set off, they panicked and started stampeding toward the exits. For some unknown reason, most of the exits were locked, blocked, or both. They rushed towards a narrow side door since they were unfamiliar with the fire exits and the lights went out (including the ones on the green exit signs). Sadly, 119 workers were killed and 54 were injured. Huang Ming, an industry expert, says that ammonia which is a refrigerant used when packaging meats could cause accident when it leaked, and so could old equipment, but he had never heard of a tragedy so big.
